I have a client that wants users to access a private area on their HTML website to download resources.

Just wanted your advice on what the best solution would be to set this up.

My knowledge in PHP is pretty poor.

We have also spoke about moving their website over to a CMS such as wordpress. Would this be easier to do with WordPress via a plugin, or is it just as easy to implement on a static HTML site?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I think in your case the easiest way would be createing a htpasswd file.

    Put .htaccess file inside a directory you wish to be private and write:

    AuthUserFile /real/path/to/file/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Secreat place"
require valid-user

    and in .htpasswd write the user and crypted password:

    admin:$apr1$nOq27Mwz$xnM1lIqrwyvbBmp0V/.TJ1

    PS: This stands for the password admin
